We have modified a basic program for serum cholinesterase phenotyping using a microcomputer. This program accepts the reaction-rate result of total and inhibitor assays of activity, allows the patient to be identified and prints out a full account of the fitting process thus allowing adequate documentation. We believe that this modification enhances the usefulness of the program to laboratories engaged in the routine determination of serum cholinesterase phenotyping.
